Definitely Twitter, I liked finding out what my old friends were up to on FB, but after that, I didn't find much benefit from it. Another reason FB is not my favorite is because of the TMI (too much information) factor. I really don't want to see pictures of my little cousin on a stripper pole! She was just playing and fully clothed, but still. I like that Twitter allows me to follow and network with people with similar interests. Also Twitter doesn't allow people to "tag" you in unflattering pictures! Ugh! I actually deactivated my FB account and don't miss it!

Like a few others, I use them for different reasons. Facebook is keeping in touch w/friends and family and Twitter is networking + random fun. If I had to choose just one, although I'm loving twitter and using it more and more, I'd choose facebook b/c if I really wanted to, I could expand my use there to include networking as well.

I would choose Facebook, You can share so much more and connect with a whole lot more people.

Twitter is just for quick notes etc.

I love both! Twitter is great for finding and reaching new people. Facebook is great for getting to know people better, including colleagues whose work I like. Unlike Twitter, their updates don't disappear as fast, partly because I have a much smaller list on Facebook.

If I absolutely had to pick I'd say Twitter because it is so much more important for my business, but I'd sure miss the intimacy of Facebook!

I prefer facebook probably because I really dont 'get' twitter. However, I WASTE far too much time on FB...hmm is there a timer I could install that will kick me off when I am procrastinating way too. long? Ha Ha.

I like Facebook...love the connection and the socialization. I can't quite figure out Twitter.

Definitely Twitter. Since finding twitter I hardly use facebook anymore. Facebook is great for catching up with old friends but I'm on twitter a lot more.

That is a tough one, but I think I would choose FB. I like connecting with friends and family who don't twitter, plus our fan (business) page is growing by leaps and bounds right now on facebook and I am probably getting an order per week via facebook contacts.
